Installed an ad hoc camera obscura in my kid’s bedroom window. Now, before opening the curtains in the morning, there are clouds on the wall. She can wake up to flocks of birds over her pillow.

haha true, but what a story and what a photo!

Btw, the surviving old growth forest around Mt Saint Helens and the mountain itself, if you have not been there on a misty, rainy day in Fall or Spring, I highly recommend it. One of my favorite places I’ve ever been on Earth.

Of course. That’s ideal. Even a form of utopia it would seem, in the face of what is.

I don’t know where you live or what the culture is there. Where I currently live, merit isn’t really the issue in most cases in daily life because there are lots of smart, capable people with experience and integrity from all sorts of backgrounds whose individual merit is more than up to the task. Other forms of competition are present like class based networks and generational wealth that tend to overpower any other measure of merit.

Also, I’m not calling anyone to govern and regulate harder. I do suspect unjust laws and unjust enforcement are two of the biggest obstacles to human flourishing.

It’s probably a conversation that isn’t easily memed with sufficient depth.

It’s a tough question! I wonder what it means, the word ‘better’?

Kinda like ‘progress’

Or ‘quality’
